Butylscopolamine — also known as scopolamine butylbromide, butylhyoscine, butylscopolaminebromide, and hyoscine butylbromide — is a peripherally acting antimuscarinic, anticholinergic agent. Butylscopolamine is used to treat pain and discomfort caused by abdominal cramps, menstrual cramps, or other spasmodic activity in the digestive system. It is also effective at preventing bladder spasms. It is not a pain medication in the normal sense, since it does not directly affect pain, but rather works to prevent painful cramps and spasms from occurring. It is marketed under the trade name Buscopan.〔http://www.buscopan.com.br/produtos/buscopan-composto.html〕 It is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system. ==Medical uses== Butylscopolamine is used to treat crampy abdominal pain with some success. Hyoscine butylbromide is effective in significantly reducing the duration of the first stage of labour, and it is not associated with any obvious adverse outcomes in mother or neonate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「butylscopolamine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
